If you have the Model Shipways kit, Model Expo is very good about replacing missing parts. Hopefully that policy extends to plans.

Bob
Call Model Expo Parts Manager (Frank) at 800-222-3876.
He leaves the office by 1pm eastern time. Describe exactly what you want, including the part number if you have it.
He may say "I'll see what I can do", then 10 days or so later it comes in the mail. Never failed me.
Tom

For the Syren, Sheet 3 is shows parts templates for bulkheads, etc. Sheet 8 has the belaying pin diagram. Maybe you are missing more than one sheet.

Thanks,sent another e-mail cause I hadn;t heard from MS.They e-mailed me to let me know they shipped the day they recieved my first e-mail,outstanding,much easier than dealing with AL.

Automerged Post:
Okay,thats why sheet 3 was missing.had to make new keel and frames because they warped and i messed it till glue dried.What I am trying to find out is were the legend that tells what the number on the plan correspond to,which rigging lines go to which pin and so on.only my 2nd ship.

Sheet 8 shows numbers next to each pin/cleat/eye bolt that correspond to the rigging line numbers on the rigging sheets, so it has the information you are looking for. Overall, this is one of the clearest sets of plans I have seen. Chuck did an excellent job!
